About the Item

Bearing the light, this elegant, white horse, commands respect as he gallops freely down the mountain towards the meadow below. So gracefully he establishes his dominion over this equestrian landscape. This realistic depiction of power and grace has been painted by professional portrait artist Joseph Sundwall now of New York state. He grew up, however, in Chicago where his artistic talents were recognized early on. He studied his trade at the Kansas City Art Institute, the famed Art Students League and National Academy of Design in NYC followed by added training in London at the St. Oswald Studios. He developed an exceptional ability to create figurative compositions as well as portraiture to significant acclaim. Sundwall original oil paintings are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

Waiting on Brandy, original 24 x 28 figurative equestrian hunt landscape
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
The thrill of traversing the beautiful spring countryside rushes color to their cheeks, tightens their calves, lowers their heels and steadies their hands as they ready for the hunt. The horn is sounded, the hounds begin chase and the riders reassure their horse while urging them forward. The scent of the fox, the chase, the jumping across the creeks and over downed branches has come to an end for another equestrian hunt shared with the other highly regarded club members. They walk their horses for a while as the horses and hounds cool down and the riders are waiting on brandy to mellow out the day's excitement. With pristine riding gear intact they let their minds wander to both family and club hunts and events of times gone by. Artist Joseph Sundwall...

Majestic Mustang Oil on Canvas Wyoming Custom Framed Western Art
Located in Houston, TX
LOOK FOR FREE SHIPPING AT CHECKOUT. Majestic Mustang is a 20" x 20" oil on canvas painting by artist Joan Breckwoldt. Majestic Mustang was painted in 2024 in Wyoming. The painting shows the movement of the Mustang, they are obviously not standing still in a pasture. Majestic Mustang is custom framed with an all wood frame which gives them somewhat of a Western feel. The mustang is a free-roaming horse of the Western United States, descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish. Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses, but because they are descended from once-domesticated animals, they are actually feral horses. The original mustangs were Colonial Spanish horses, but many other breeds and types of horses contributed to the modern mustang, now resulting in varying phenotypes. Some free-roaming horses are relatively unchanged from the original Spanish stock, most strongly represented in the most isolated populations. In 1971, the United States Congress...
